This team will only go as far as CJ Fair will take them, and that was evident after this game. Fair started the game shooting 2 for 9, and went the entire second half without a field goal.
In most rock fights, no one really wins. On Monday night, #9 Syracuse barely did, escaping St. Francis (Brooklyn) at the Carrier Dome by scoring the game’s final ten points for a 56-50 victory in the opening game of the EA Sports Maui Invitational.
Plenty of concerning signs across the board for the Orange. Syracuse’s top gun, CJ Fair, came in averaging more than 21 points and was held to just 7 points.
